Chapter 337 Just a Chair
After going down the mountain, Shang Xi instructed someone, "Go and find out if Zhao Zhiyuan has been making things difficult for Shen Ran these days."
Someone took the order and left.
The carriage stopped by the roadside. Shang Xi held up the curtain and looked towards the cemetery.
There was an inexplicable bitterness in my heart.
He clearly has no feelings for Shen Ran.
But when he saw her crying in front of Shen Zhiyi's grave, he felt very uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but wonder, if Xiao Ning hadn't come here through reincarnation, if he had failed in this political struggle, would anyone have cried for him after his death?
Furong and others, as his confidants, will definitely be executed together.
Apart from them, Shang Xi thought about it but couldn't think of anyone else.
He has no relatives and no good friends.
If he died, there wouldn't even be anyone to burn paper for him.
Shang Xi closed the curtains and said, "Return to the palace."
He missed Xiao Ning.
I miss you so much.
After returning to the palace, Shang Xi rushed towards the Qinzheng Hall.
Xiao Ning is currently discussing things with Li Yuan and others.
Shang Xi stood behind the curtain, staring at Xiao Ning's face almost greedily.
He really wanted to go in and hug her.
But she was in the middle of a meeting, and he couldn't be so rude, or she would get angry...
Xiao Ning felt that strong gaze.
She tilted her head to look over and saw that it was Shang Xi. She tilted her head and smiled at him, waving, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of several people in the Qinzheng Hall looked over here and fell on Shang Xi.
Shang Xi tightened his grip on the curtain, then finally let go, opened the curtain, and walked in.
Elegant manners and calm demeanor.
There was no trace of the arrogant and willful look she had in front of Xiao Ning.
"Aning, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Weren't you the one standing there secretly watching me?
But seeing that Shang Xi seemed to be in a bad mood, he asked, "Have you buried the bodies?"
Shang Xi nodded, "Yeah."
Xiao Ning gestured for him to sit down next to him.
He turned around and continued to discuss things with Li Yuan and others.
Now that Shengjing is under control, the next step is to put the enthronement on the agenda, and then reward the meritorious officials.
Those who work with Xiao Ning are all grassroots heroes, and it is good enough for them to be able to read a few volumes of military strategy.
I don't understand these things.
After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with any rules.
Shang Xi wanted to give Xiao Ning some advice, but he didn't dare to speak rashly.
After all, Xiao Ning's subordinates are still in front of him, and as her "concubine", it would be unreasonable for him to interfere in politics so rashly.
He couldn't put Xiao Ning in a difficult position.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning suddenly turned around, looked at Shang Xi and asked, "Ling Hui, what do you think?"
Shang Xi glanced at Xiao Ning, then at Li Yuan and others who were all looking at him.
"Do you really want me to tell you?"
Xiao Ning nodded.
Shang Xi then expressed his thoughts.
Originally, all the heroes who had made the founding of the country should have been granted titles and honors, but Xiao Ning's dream was to make all people in the world equal, so naturally no titles could be established, otherwise it would be hard to guarantee that a new group of aristocratic families would not be nurtured.
Just give them official positions, reward them with gold, silver and houses.
As for what official positions were conferred?
Shang Xi came to Xiao Ning, took the pen from the desk, spread out the rice paper, picked up the pen and bent down. Just as he was about to write, he was pulled over by Xiao Ning and sat on the dragon throne together.
"Sit down and write. It's uncomfortable to write like this. Your back will hurt soon."
Shang Xi felt a pang of pain in his heart.
His Aning is always so meticulous and gentle.
only……
Shang Xi whispered, "Let me have someone bring a chair over. Sitting here... doesn't make sense."
Xiao Ning glanced at the spacious dragon chair beneath him and smiled: "It's just a chair, just sit on it."
Shang Xi: “…”
Li Yuan and others sat at the bottom, observing their eyes with their noses and their hearts with their eyes.
That’s the dragon throne.
Something that drives so many people crazy.
"Don't worry, just write!"
At Xiao Ning's urging, Shang Xi quickly wrote down a list of official positions.
He even wrote down clearly who was appointed to what official position and why.
Shang Xi had been in the Xiao family army for quite a long time. Xiao Ning had never deliberately avoided him when discussing matters, so he had a general understanding of the personality traits and military achievements of the generals under Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning picked up the rice paper and looked carefully at the contents on it.
She had a general understanding of the official positions in Dayong, but there was a huge gap between understanding them and being able to apply them skillfully.
"Ling Hui, you are my lucky star!"
Xiao Ning looked at Shang Xi, his eyes full of passion and joy.
Seeing her happy, Shang Xi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
"It's good to be able to help Aning."
The person sitting at the bottom suddenly felt a little bit of pain in his teeth.
Shang Xi continued, "Aning, since you don't plan to kill those people from the aristocratic families for the time being, why don't you let them worry about these things that make you so tired?"
"Besides... everyone has their own specializations. Generals are supposed to fight wars. If you let them do these things, it would be bad if they ended up making things worse."
If something goes wrong, should he be killed or punished?
If the punishment is death, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Xiao family army.
If we don’t kill or punish, how can we convince the people?
"It would be better to leave everything to those aristocratic officials. If there are any mistakes, you don't have to show mercy. Kill those who deserve it and punish those who deserve it."
Li Yuan and others thought it made sense.
It would be better to give those people some work to do than to let them stay in Shengjing and eat idle meals.
They have been really busy lately.
The hand that was used to holding a spear was suddenly asked to hold a pen. In the past, the discussion was about conquering cities and territories, but now the discussion is about the important affairs of the court.
Xiao Ning sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to use it, but right now things are so chaotic. If they team up to trick me, I won't have anywhere to cry."
After all, these people have big hearts. Since ancient times, they have been the ones who fanned the flames of countless bloody storms.
For example, this time, she was too lazy to count how many of these people supported the Second Prince and how many supported Shen Zhiyi.
Because if you calculate carefully, I'm afraid the entire court will be wiped out and there will be no one left to use.
Shang Xi held Xiao Ning's hand and said, "You're worried they'll set you up now, but won't they do that once the situation stabilizes?"
"Besides, the situation is chaotic right now, and they're worried about what you, the new emperor, might do to them. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to assign tasks, win over their hearts, and let them fight among themselves first, thus breaking down the fragile trust between them, it will only benefit you, not harm."
"As for your concerns..."
Shang Xi laughed. "I still have some people in the capital. They are all scholars from humble backgrounds, and they have been placed in various departments. I will give you the list later. If you trust them, you can use them. Some of them have been officials for several years, and some for several years. They have dealt with these old foxes a lot."
"If you don't trust them, depose them and let them go home."
Xiao Ning said: "Believe it, why not? Now their master is my husband, why should I be afraid of them messing around?"
Shang Xi was startled by Xiao Ning's words "Emperor's Husband", and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
